Kanu’s Plan For Regional Security Divides Ndigbo
Plans by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to form the Eastern Security Network, ESN modeled after the Amotekun Security Network in the Southwest and the Miyetti Allah vigilante group in the North have been received with mixed feelings among the Igbo.
While some have criticized him over his plans, others lauded him with some saying that they would remove their reservations about him to support the idea.
Kanu had through a statement issued by IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful given vent to the idea following what he condemned as the failure of Southeast governors to come up with a strategic plan to defend their people against alleged violations by herdsmen and other miscreants.
“Today, I present to the world our first and last line of defense against a particular ethnic group inspired anarchy and mayhem across the entire Middle Belt and South,” Kanu was quoted as saying.
“The Eastern Security Network is here to bring to an end, years of Miyetti Allah terrorism in our land.
“This security outfit, modelled along the lines of Amotekun in the West and Miyetti Allah vigilante group in the North, will provide the entire East, South South and South East with the necessary assurance that crimes such as kidnapping, armed robbery, illegal occupation of our forests and river banks by marauding killers from the Sahel is brought to an end with immediate effect.
“Every ethnic group across Biafraland is well represented in this formation, therefore, I am confident that every city, town and village will be protected from the ravages of killer herdsmen and other terrorist activities in whatever guise it manifests itself.”
